1% of an hour would represent 0.6 minutes or 36 seconds.
To find out what amount of time 1% of an hour represents, we need to calculate 1% of 60 minutes.
First, we convert 1% into a decimal. Since 1% is equivalent to 0.01, we have:
0.01 x 60 minutes = 0.6 minutes
Therefore, 1% of an hour represents 0.6 minutes.
To determine what amount of time 1% of an hour represents, we need to find 1% of 60 minutes.
First, let's convert 60 minutes to seconds. Since there are 60 seconds in a minute, multiplying 60 minutes by 60 seconds/minute gives us 3600 seconds.
Next, to find 1% of 3600 seconds, we can divide 3600 by 100.
Dividing 3600 by 100 gives us 36 seconds.
Therefore, 1% of an hour represents 36 seconds.
